My first semester at Temple was a pretty great one. I learned a lot, I met lots of people and I had a great time. I honestly did not want to go home on move out day. I know I will be back in a few months and be back at it all. With firsts comes a lot of new experiences, a lot of fun and a lot of lessons.

1. It doesn't actually take that long to get to class.

When I first came to campus I thought my dorm was so far from all the academic buildings and that I would need to leave my room super early. That wasn't that case.

2. Diamond Dollars are the best.

Now no one really likes the campus food, and sometimes you don't want to use a swipe, but you're low on cash, cause we are all broke college students. Use your Diamond Dollars! You can use them practically anywhere on and around campus.

3. The squirrels are not your friends..they are vicious .

Squirrels are everywhere on campus, they really are not friendly. I would advise you to stay away from them.

4. Sometimes there are birds in Morgan Dining Hall.

Don't be alarmed, there is always a bird or two in the Morgan Dining hall. I hate birds though like high key hate them.

5. The wind is terrible.

I sometimes feel that the wind was literally going to blow me away, and being up so high it always sounded 10,000 times worse, but it was still bad.

6. Protests are normal.

If the weather is nice, there will be people on campus. Just mind your own business and keep on with your day.

7. Watch out for the skateboarders.

Seriously, they come out of nowhere! LOL

8. Do not lose your OwlCard.

Really don't lose it, it just makes everything harder. Getting into buildings and your room and you won't be able to eat, so try not to lose it. You don't really want to pay for a new one do you?

9. The walls are thin..too thin

Be careful how loud you are, when doing anything that is. Everyone will hear you.

10. Premium meal plans are the bomb

If you have premium you can eat at anytime you want. No need to worry about using on swipe at certain hours of the day.
